AI Content & Editorial Policy

Purpose and Commitment

At DataVaultAlliance, we provide thought leadership, education, and strategic insight on information management, analytics, and data architecture. In a rapidly evolving digital landscape, we responsibly use generative AI technologies to support clarity, consistency, and accessibility—while maintaining full human accountability for all published content.

This policy explains how AI is used, where human expertise governs, and who is accountable for the ideas presented on this site.

Expert-Led, AI-Augmented Content

All content published by DataVaultAlliance originates from human expertise.

Topics, perspectives, and strategic frameworks are derived from:

  • Daniel Linstedt’s 25+ years of experience in enterprise data architecture and information management, and
  • The established standards, methodologies, and practices promoted by the DataVaultAlliance.

Generative AI is used as a supporting tool, not as an independent author. Its role is to assist with:

  • Drafting and structuring prose
  • Improving clarity and coherence
  • Exploring alternative phrasing or logical flow

AI does not independently determine:

  • Editorial positions
  • Technical guidance
  • Strategic recommendations
  • Standards, methodologies, or interpretations

Human Review and Editorial Accountability

Every article, publication, or educational resource is:

  • Reviewed by Daniel Linstedt or a senior DataVaultAlliance contributor for conceptual alignment and clarity
  • Edited to ensure consistency with published DataVaultAlliance principles, terminology, and educational intent
  • Approved for publication as thought leadership content, not as professional or implementation guidance

Editorial Oversight and Accountability
DataVaultAlliance exercises editorial oversight over the content it publishes, including human review for alignment with our stated principles, methodologies, and educational objectives. This oversight relates solely to the expression of ideas and perspectives and does not constitute a guarantee of accuracy, completeness, suitability, or applicability to any specific situation.
